HORSESHOE PITCHING GUIDE

of being in touch with the Minnesota and Buckeye horseshoe associations in which full information was furnished, a State horseshoe association was organized, with Frederick Mackey being the first secretary.

This new association has the support of all the State horseshoe associations in the country. They are to be congratulated on their efforts.

Horseshoe Pitching in Iowa

This State has always had good horseshoe pitchers, being the home of Frank Jackson, the first national champion.
There are several big men in the horseshoe pitching game in Iowa, among them being W. R. Cunningham of Des Moints, F. H. Farley of Sloan, and H. A. Weisman of Marshallville.
In 1920 plans were made to hold a State tournament at the State Fair at Des Moines the latter part of August. County tournaments were held in all parts of the State, and a Sate organizations is in the making. The game is popular in all parts of the State, but no efforts were ever made to put the game on an organized basis.
Through the efforts of the Buckeye horseshoe associa-tion those interested in the game have been in co-operation bringing the game on a standard with all its neighbor States. Iowa promises to be one of the most progressive State horseshoe pitchers' associations in the country. It has been suggested to have the national tournament in connection with the State Fair in 1922.
